Ramiz Raja terms Afghanistan as favourite vs Pakistan 

Srinagar: In a major statement former Pakistan skipper Ramiz Raja has termed Afghanistan as favourite vs Pakistan in Mondays World Cup 2023 clash between the two sides in Chennai.

While talking on his YouTube channel, Ramiz highlighted Pakistan’s historical difficulties in facing high-quality spin bowling, suggesting that the Afghan spinners could dominate the match. 

“It will be difficult for Pakistan to make a turnaround. Anything can happen in Chennai in their next match is against Afghanistan. Keeping in mind the performance of Pakistan batters against spin, anything can happen here. If it’s a spinning wicket, I think Afghanistan will be slightly ahead as favourites,” he said.

The match between Pakistan and Afghanistan will mark their eighth encounter since their inaugural match in 2012 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
